Oh, be assured, fellow teachers, that there is no time in life so favorable to sound conversion as early childhood.

God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.

I have heard of a monk who in his cell had a glorious vision of Jesus revealed to him. Just then a bell rang, which called him away to distribute loaves of bread among the poor beggars at the gate. He was sorely tried as to whether he should lose a scene so inspiring. He went to his act of mercy; and when he came back the vision remained more glorious than ever.

For a few brief days the orchards are white with blossoms. They soon turn to fruit, or else float away, useless and wasted, upon the idle breeze. So will it be with present feelings. They must be deepened into decision, or be entirely dissipated by delay.

Sufficient to each day are the duties to be done and the trials to be endured. God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today's duties and tomorrow's anxieties piled on the top of them.

God does not give us ready money. He issues promissory notes, and then pays them at the throne. Each one of us has a check-book.

God sometimes washes the eyes of His children with tears in order that they may read aright His providence and His commandments.
